Here is one I just finished up.She is 47.5" NTN and 64# @ 24" Mountain Mahogany with lingcod skins and bull snake overlay. The tips are Zebra wood. I haven't got out for a full draw shot, Ihave a bad cold right now, :rolleyes: so might be a few days.

Wow, that is sweet. I love the snake skins, they really set the bow off above and beyond cool.
Great Job Keenan!

BTW- What is lincod? We evidently don't have those in Missouri.

Thanks Brock, everything just flowed together on that one.

Semo, Thank you. Lingcod is a bottom fish off the Pacific coast. Long bodies and big ugly heads. They can get up to about 6 feet and 30-40 lbs

Those Skins look incredible over the lincod! I've never seen a dye job do that to a pair of snake skins. Just WOW, Amazing work Keenan!

Fantastic, love the skins, great job!!

Thanks Guys,

Two Tracks, Yes the snake is over the lingcod. The ling cod adds some protection and is real colorfull when fresh but loses some of the color when dried and can be fairly plain. I had always wanted to try this idea and I'm pleased with how it worked.

Keenan,
That is truely an awesome bow. I take it the ling cod darken the snake skin.
You for got to tell folks that ling cod is not only one of the ugliest, most agressive fish but is hands down one of the finest to be had on the table. Better than Halibut even.
Great Job. Semo See we could hit him on our way to Dicks Place. LOL
Again great JOB!

I got to talk with Keenan yesterday for a bit and I can say he is a hands down great attribute to bow building. A real pleasure to talk to as well.\\

That is a sweet looking bow Keenan. You make some beauties for sure.

Great looking bow, but it's too short for my draw length. It looks like it's all sapwood, does that work better than the heartwood? I have some mountain mahogany lumber I was going to use with bamboo backing.

DanaM · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2011, 01:39:00 PM »

Damn fine looking bow Keenan, of course we expect no less from ya eh:)
